Drew Lock appears to be healthy enough to return to the lineup
Drew Lock will be the starting quarterback for the New York Giants on Sunday vs. the Atlanta Falcons. Head coach Brian Daboll told reporters on Wednesday that Lock, recovered enough from heel and left elbow injuries to practice, will return to the starting role.
Lock had started the previous two games prior to missing Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Tommy DeVito, in the concussion protocol after leaving the game vs. Baltimore just before halftime, “has a chance” to be the backup quarterback. If DeVito does not clear the protocol in time, Tim Boyle would be the No. 2 quarterback.
More injury news
Aaron Stinnie, who started at left guard last week in place of Jon Runyan Jr. (IR/ankle) is in the concussion protocol. Rookie Jake Kubas will work at left guard and would be the logical starter if Stinnie does not clear the protocol.
Linebacker Bobby Okereke (back), and edge defenders Brian Burns (ankle) and Patrick Johnson (knee) are being held out of practice. Daboll termed Burns, who has played through a variety of injuries this season, “day-to-day.”
